Most US university courses require a great deal of reading.
For example, teachers may ask you to read 30-60 pages for
each class in addition to whatever reading you may need to
do for independent research projects. For this reason, it
is extremely important that you are able to read college
level texts effectively and efficiently. This course is
designed to help you improve your reading skills in
preparation for the demands of US university classrooms.
In this course, you will learn how to read and discuss
college level texts, specifically textbook chapters and
academic research articles. The ultimate goal of this
course is to provide you with the knowledge, strategies,
skills, and confidence necessary to read and discuss
college level texts on familiar and unfamiliar topics. In
addition to receiving instruction in reading strategies, you
will receive instruction in note-taking and developing
critical thinking skills. You will also receive instruction
in locating and selecting credible texts using library
databases for research purposes.
